ipsilateral- is on the same side of the body
contralateral- is on the opposite side of the body
what happens on one side will be different on the other
Central nervous system. In fact, the brain is the CENTER of the central nervous system.
The peripheral nervous system is the portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system. It consists of nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body, including sensory and motor neurons. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting information to and from the central nervous system.
The hypothalamus is a part of the central nervous system.
Central Nervous System!
Contralateral hemiplegia occurs in patients with upper motor neuron lesions, such as those resulting from a stroke, due to the decussation (crossing) of motor pathways in the central nervous system. Specifically, the majority of fibers in the corticospinal tract cross over at the medulla oblongata, meaning that damage to the motor cortex in one hemisphere affects the motor control of the opposite side of the body. This disruption leads to weakness or paralysis on the side of the body opposite to the lesion. Thus, a stroke in the left hemisphere typically results in contralateral (right-sided) hemiplegia.
Ipsilateral means on the same side of the body, so the right ear and right eye are ipsilateral. For the central nervous system, an example would be that the right frontal lobe and the right occipital lobe are ipsilateral.

The autonomic nervous system is a division of the central nervous system.

The Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous system
The central nervous system is part of the nervous system, but it is only the brain and the spinal cord.
